Everett man and girlfriend allegedly paid for vacations with fraud

Before you think this is a nice couple on a nice vacation, read the caption below.

The undated photo, from the AP, was released by the Philadelphia Police Department:

Shown is Jocelyn Kirsch, a student at Drexel University and Edward Anderton of Everett Wash. Kirsch, 22, and Anderton, 25, were charged Friday, Nov. 30 with identity theft, forgery, unlawful use of a computer and a laundry list of other counts. Their alleged fraud scheme, estimated at $100,000 this year alone, paid for jaunts to Paris, London and Hawaii and other luxury perks, including Kirsch’s stop at a tony salon for $1,700 worth of hair extensions, police said.

A weekend search of the couple’s $3,000-a-month apartment turned up a cache of tech toys: four computers, two printers, a scanner and an industrial machine that makes ID cards. Police also found $17,500 in cash, dozens of credit cards and fake drivers’ licenses, and keys to unlock many of the apartments and mailboxes in their upscale Rittenhouse Square apartment building. Police are not yet sure how they got the keys.
